Your customers are on their phones. Your website should work there first.
For most local businesses, the majority of visitors arrive on a phone: someone in a car park looking up your opening hours, or on the sofa comparing three quotes. If the text is tiny, the buttons are fiddly or the page takes ten seconds to appear, they go back and pick someone else.
Google also looks at the mobile version of your site first when deciding where you rank, so a site that works badly on a phone tends to be found less as well.
We design for the small screen first, then let it grow for desktops, not the other way round.
Small images, little clutter, nothing that makes a phone wait on a weak signal.
Big buttons, a phone number you can tap to call, forms that bring up the right keyboard.
Opening hours and contact details where people look for them. A menu or price list you can read without zooming, instead of a photo of a printed one. Maps that open in the phone’s own map app. Booking and enquiry forms that are short enough to finish on a bus.
Every website we build is mobile-friendly as standard; there is no extra charge. A brochure website is £49 and yours to keep. If your current site is hard to use on a phone, we can rebuild it, or tell you what is wrong with it first.
Open it on your phone and try to find your phone number, your prices and a way to contact you. If any of that is a struggle, your customers are struggling too.
Rarely. A well-built website does most of what small businesses want an app for, and some of our sites can be added to a phone’s home screen like an app.
Sometimes. If it is built well underneath, small changes may be enough. We’ll tell you which is cheaper.
Where do people use your website?
